   In the old days, some people defined TRUE as -1, while others in the   
   same or related ecosystems defined TRUE as +1, hence TRUE did not   
   equal TRUE. It's been a long time, but I think I saw this back in the   
   Microsoft world back in the Windows 98/Windows 2000[1] days when calling   
   modules written in different languages.

   [1] BTW, I still think the Windows 2000 UI was vastly superior to the   
   UI stuff we are forced to use these days...
